2024 Factory installed TRD Lift

Had the TRD lift kit installed a couple weeks ago from a dealership in town. I was thinking about installing airbags in the rear for when I'm towing. From what I read, airlift 5000 is the way to go but will this work with the 2" rear lift? If not does anyone know something that will?

 

That's a damn good-looking piece of kit!

 

Any pics of the skid plates after use?

How are they holding up going over a rock and getting scratched and dented? Can they take it or require replacement after 1 outing?

I'm very interested in how that sway bar below the skid plate does.

 

A lot of it depends how you wheel. We beat on our bronco test rig pretty hard and the plates hold up for multiple trips. They will get scratched from going over rocks, and if you slam the weight of the truck down on them they are going to bend and dent. Are you looking to rock bounce your trusts, or are you more careful with your lines?

Here is a video of our bronco with 1/4” aluminum skids. I was really expecting the skids to be bent after this landing, but didn’t find any significant damage. I think I hit the rock sliders more. I got lucky. Keep in mind a tundra is a lot heavier then the Bronco, and we have a lot more reinforcement in our bronco skids as the average person tends to wheel those a bit harder.

Maybe I need to do a 3/16” steel group buy.

 

That sway bar under the skid plate is just looking to get ripped off. I wonder if it has been tested and held up well.

Your video answers many of my questions except how it does with a 1/2 ton Tundra doing that.

 

Yes, it rubs sway bar at full lock both sides just barely, the frame horn I call it safety triangle sticking out rubs worse on drivers side than it does passenger side, just at full lock or say 95% to full lock. If that makes sense.

 

I was looking today since I just got my 2024 Limited OR with Factory 3” lift and wanted to know where the wires were at for the fog lights? I looked under and didn’t see where they would be but the stock has the switch for them and it turns on when I twist it.

 

They are plugged into the back of the blanks where the fog lights go.

 

Anyone know the amount of labor time for a dealer install? Cost? Thanks

 

Modern Toyota Winston Salem, NC quoted $1589 which was $1500 install labor and $89 for alignment after (quoted in October 2023). Based on that I would say 8-10hrs maybe??

But I found my truck with it from the factory in TN

 

Wow, so 12 to 15 hrs depending on rate? I was thinking 8hrs. I was off a bit. Lol

 

You may have said, and I may have missed it, but how tall are your spacers? I did 1.5in based on another thread (apparently not TRD lift based) and they are definitely too short...
